4 British soldiers were killed by an IED yesterday (oh yeah and 2 others were killed in Basra this week as well) which now brings the total killed in ops in Iraq to 140. Yes that's right 140. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY!!!

Why is there no outcry? Why are the newspapers not screaming their outrage at this waste of our finest young men and women. Whilst 15 Marines and sailors have been part of a media circus (was there ever any real risk that the Iranians were going to harm them?!) we have seen 6 British soldiers killed in Iraq and this horrific total of 140 now reached.

As a comparison during the troubles, 465 British Army personnel were murdered by the IRA between 1968-2001.

Having served in Ulster we knew why we were out there and knew we were fighting for a noble cause, fighting a terrorist group to allow our fellow Britons to remain British. Every death then was mourned and regretted but they were for a reason.

140 British troops have died....for what exactly? Apart from the obvious ego trip of Bliar.

RIP guys

Is it really 140 or is that figure skewed like so many have been recently? I suspect it is skewed. What is the real death total for British Troops becasue of b.Liars illegal war in Iraq?
